Hmm, it seems that 5060 Ti might be 16GB and 5060 non-ti 12GB:


The prices are a sad joke though (if accurate). Even when factoring in that these are custom models

CardPricePrice w/o VATRoughly equivalent price in USD
RTX 50704599 RMB4069 RMB$562
RTX 5060 Ti4299 RMB3804 RMB$525
RTX 5060 12GB3799 RMB3361 RMB$464

Probably fake and/or a typo. That would be interesting if 3 GB Chips were available enough to use for the 5060.

The 40 series launched a bit more slowly didn't it? It was only the 4090 and 4080 at this stage. And there was plenty of 3000 series in stock for the low end, as I recall.

So it might be possible, due to the 5070, that they shipped more total chips of the 5000 series by that time. But Nvidia conveniently ignores the inventory problem.

Basically there was nothing in stock.

Apple sells like 200 mln iPhones per year, lots for launch too and $1k does not buy you much of an iPhone these days - and Nvidia can't make a few mln cards for launch day.

Yeah. I don't remember it too clearly but it took until January before I could get a 4090.
That's my recollection too. I got my 4090 in December 2022 (over 2 months post launch) and I was extremely lucky to be in Micro Center when they put some on the shelves. Same thing this year when I got the next to last 5070 Ti, which didn't even last long enough to get the glass case closed back up before they were gone.

Oct 12 for the 4090 and Nov 16 for the (terribly reviewed) 4080. So 4090, then 5 weeks later 4080, then almost 2 months later 4070 Ti.

Nvidia's chart covers basically only the time it was just the 4090 on the market. For Blackwell, it's 3 weeks of 5090 and 5080 on the market, and 2 weeks with the 5070 Ti.

Yeah, I'll believe that when I see it. That we'd get 5070 12GB, 5060 Ti at 16 and 8 GB and then they'd use 3GB chips exclusively to make a 5060 12GB seems incredibly unlikely.

If anything they'd do 3GB on the Ti to give 5070 12GB, 5060 Ti 12GB, and 5060 8GB.

Could just be they cut the bus on the 5060 to 96bit and keep it at 128bit for the 5060Ti.

I do think NV would probably prefer to use 3GB chips on the 5060Ti just because then they won't have cases like Indiana Jones where the 5060Ti 16GB makes the 5070 look stupid

MSRP lottery! Guess who's lucky winner tonight?


One of the retailers in India decided to announce a special offer in collaboration with Colorful, which will enable three people to buy RTX 5080 cards at MSRP. The lucky people, humorously called ‘winners,’ will be asked to pay the MSRP of Rs. 1,10,000.


Yeah, I'm not sure, neither.
We are not entirely sure why the retailer thought this would be a good idea to run such a promotion, nor why it is actually possible to sell the RTX 5080 at MSRP, but only for 3 units.

Bit rude given I'm neither a miner nor a bot, but alas

I should apologize as well as my original remark was not aimed at you in any way. I was making a joke at the expense of a different poster who had maintained for over a year that 8 GB ought to be enough for anyone and that all of the times it wasn't were just poorly optimized games, improper settings, or any number of other excuses.

Unless you happened to be following or posting in that thread, I wouldn't be surprised if the humor was entirely lost on you and the posts came off as slights against you.

If we're getting a 12 GB 5060 it's probably means that it's chips with a cut bus (92-bit) and a clamshell memory design. They probably won't use GDDR7 in that case either. As long as they use GDDR6X they shouldn't lose bandwidth relative to the 4060, but if it's not clocked as fast it could be a regression there.

I don't think this will be the case though as it creates a situation where the 5060 would beat an 8 GB 5060 Ti in some situations where it's VRAM limited. Maybe Nvidia doesn't care as the same happened with the 3060, but I doubt yields are bad enough for them to disable a memory controller intentionally to produce anywhere near the number of 5060s they would need.

One way to solve it would be 5060 96bit 12GB clamshell and 5060Ti 128bit 12GB 3GB chips.

That avoids the 12GB 5060 being faster in cases than the 8GB 5060Ti and it avoids the 16GB 5060Ti being faster than the 12GB 5070 in some cases.

While that's certainly true ain't no way this side of heaven leather jacket man is paying for that.

Be thankful it's not a DDR4 card.

It seems when you reach trillion dollar market cap, one of the skills you gain is how to manipulate people using bad graphs.

Looking at you Apple and Nvidia

I don't understand why plain customers/gamers want desktop 5080/5090 at all, they're way too expensive and don't offer much over $600 cards lol

Just to play these 2-3 demanding games at 4K 120fps? There's literally no other reason

it's just fetishism for 35 year old manchilds with very fat wallets who don't know what to do with their money

There are plenty of games that the 5090 is too weak to hit 4k 120fps in:


I don't think dropping a couple of grand on a hobby makes someone a man-child. Tons of people spend several thousand dollars on a slightly nicer car, or a yearly vacation, or food from out.

What does this graph even represent? other than 5 weeks? There are no #s of units for either graph. AMD is bad /facepalm.
Well it is number of shipments for all cards after launch.
Note that the 4090 was the main Ada card during the same period with only a tiny amount of 4080 at the end, versus 5070 and up for Blackwell.
And no mention of pre launch shipments or exactly what they consider a shipment, could mean # of ASICs packaged all the way to # of cards delivered to retailers.

If we're getting a 12 GB 5060 it's probably means that it's chips with a cut bus (92-bit) and a clamshell memory design.
96 bit
And with GDDR7, that would still be enough bandwidth for its presumable (lack of) GPU power.
They probably won't use GDDR7 in that case either. As long as they use GDDR6X they shouldn't lose bandwidth relative to the 4060, but if it's not clocked as fast it could be a regression there.
They released 4070 with G6 due to lack of G6X months ago and you think Micron would resume G6X production for this one SKU?
Nah, it's either G6 or G7. There were no new G5X cards after G6 launched, either.
You need a certain volume to keep a memory types' price down. Micron will want (and probably already began) to convert G6X production lines to GDDR7, probably.
I don't think this will be the case though as it creates a situation where the 5060 would beat an 8 GB 5060 Ti in some situations where it's VRAM limited.
Maybe they just won't release a 5060Ti-8GB?
Under the current market conditions, the premium they can command for 16GB may lead to a situation where releasing an 8GB Ti would actually hamper their margins, so why bother.

I think they'll just make the 5060Ti (16GB) $499 MSRP, the 5060 12GB $449, maybe a 5060-8GB at 399 and all but exit the price points below that, if we ignore the joke the 5050 is probably gonna be (18 SM and 8GB of G6 at $299 or something).

If that's true, I'm guessing $450 for 5060 Ti and $350 for 5060. Maybe they even take a page from AMD's playbook and make the 5060 $400 just to get people to pay the extra $50 for the Ti.
AMD playbook would be 5060 Ti at $400 just to get people to pay the extra $50 for the Ti.
